With The Meta Quest Gaming Showcase airing, you could say we’re officially into the season formerly known as E3. This morning ahead of his stream, Meta shared details about his upcoming Meta Quest 3 headset, which included some teases for the games that would be revealed during his stream, the details of which you can find below.
The showcase ended with the reveal of Wrath of Asgard 2. The original Asgard’s Wrath is one of the biggest, most ambitious (and best-reviewed) games in VR. The sequel picks up where the first game’s story left off while adding all sorts of new mechanics. More information on Asgard’s Wrath 2 can be found in the next issue of game informant‘s magazine, where we spoke with the game’s director. The other exciting thing about the sequel is that it’s coming to Quest 2.
The 7th VR Guest appears to be a complete remake of the original classic puzzle game but in VR. If you’re unfamiliar, The 7th Guest was a landmark PC puzzle game released in 1993 that featured one of the first uses of full-screen video in a video game. You can read our oral history on the game here.
VR stranger things is a VR game based on the popular Netflix TV show where you play as season four (and likely five) antagonist Vecna as he rises to power in the Upside Down.
Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable is a VR game based on the popular manga and anime where soldiers fly around the battlefield with swords hanging from tethers while battling horrible, gigantic humanoid creatures called Titans. The action shown in the trailer looks incredibly intense.
Bulletstorm VR is a VR port of the cult 2011 first-person shooter developed by its original creator, People Can Fly. Regarding the game, People Can Fly says, “New and old skillshots, plus the action-packed story, all recreated from the ground up to take advantage of virtual reality.”
Amigo Samba is a VR version of the popular Dreamcast and later Wii rhythm game. It’s apparently a one-off from the upcoming Switch game, Samba de Amigo: Party Central, but it’s obviously from the same franchise. It’s a concept that seems to work very well in virtual reality.
Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord follows a San Francisco-based character who actively hates the Ghostbusters and attempts to show them off by exploring Alcatraz and freeing the titular Ghost Lord. The game can be played alone or with up to three cooperative partners.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice is, as you might expect, a VR game based on the Vampire: The Masquerade universe. The game’s trailer describes it as a “blood-soaked adventure RPG” and features characters pouncing on unsuspecting victims from the rooftops of Venice, Italy.
PowerWash VR Simulator is, as is the case with many games on this list, a VR version of a familiar game. It’s unclear if this is an entirely new game or a VR port of the popular 2022 game, but you’ll definitely be able to clean things up in VR, which is the important part.
Game of Death Hotel is a new game from Swery, the creator of Deadly Premonition. In the game, players from all over the world come together to play a dangerous and deadly game.
Basically, nothing was revealed about Assassin’s Creed: Nexus VR during the stream other than the fact that it exists and we’ll know more on June 12 during Ubisoft’s showcase event.
These are the main titles announced during the Meta Quest showcase, but below you can find all the other games with links to their trailers that were revealed during the stream.
